Na-realize ko kanina... naririnig ko lang yung mga salitang "tama na yan," "puro ka trabaho," "pahinga ka naman" galing sa pamilya saka sa ilang kaibigan.
Pag andito ka, wala ka nang ibang maririnig kundi "gambatte kudasai." 頑張りますが、それはまだ足りない。
Pasensya na. Isa na namang nakakapagod na raw.

Nabuhay si Kuya Prus!
Today was such a bad day. I don't wanna talk about it.
Anyway just before I went home from the office nakita ko picture ni Rusty (admuECEzerofive) sa YM, tas naka-yukata sya, yung traditional Japanese, er, costume for guys. So I messaged him, and it turns out he's been in Osaka since October 2. I arrived in Itami on September 30. We've been just 12 kilometers apart all this time pala.
The good news? I won't have to spend Christmas holed up in my apartment since my trip to Tokyo was cancelled (damn you Ryan), Jim's going home din, and Jeff's girlfriend is coming over for the holidays (nai-imagine ko na yung DND sign sa pinto ni Jeff.) Meron na 'kong kasama sa Pasko, woohoo! Pag-uwi ko kanina tinawagan nya 'ko tas kwentuhan lang kami ng mga kagaguhan dito sa Japan. Baka sa Linggo magkita kami. Ang saya. :D
(R-L: Eng, Moldy, Rusty, me, Lana, and Grace.)
Kahit hindi kami sobrang close nung college, iba pa rin yung feeling na may kakilala kang andito rin. Someone to swap experiences with. I dunno. Basta.
Haha yun lang. Buti naman nabawi yung kabadtripan ng araw ko. Ja ne.

Jim: "Next life."
Bored sa office mode
Jim: "How are you Jeff?"
Jeff: "I'm quite hungry, thanks for asking."
Jim: "You can eat me."
Tae ka Jim angkulet mo.

Weekly Report
It has been... a memorable week, to say the least.
Wednesday, November 14, I was feeling down for a couple of reasons. (See "Top 5 Reasons Kung Bakit Panalo Ang Araw Na 'To", November 14.) I was so down that my motto for the next day was, "Wala ng mawawala." Turns out meron pa pala.
Thursday, November 15. I was performing machine testing on this bug fix I was working on, when suddenly... I died. I don't want to get into the details of what happened, but it would be suffice to say that I did in fact died. A little bit. At the end of the day, I sent an email to my boss Anjo telling him I wanted to die. Well, not in those words. But I think I got the point across.
Friday, November 16. Went to the office early so I could still sulk a little bit and bitch about my bad fortune. Kaso pagdating ko andun na si Anjo, and he talked to me. Ever so kindly. Then I checked my email, and may reply pa pala sya dun sa mail ko the night before.
The mail goes on to say stuff about what happened, tas ang ending, finorward ko yung mail kina Jeff at Jim.

Jamie: "Athan pano na pag yung may-asawa na yung nanlalambing sa 'kin?"
Athan: (walang isip-isip, galit na naman) "Kasalanan mo pa rin yon! May ginawa ka siguro!"
Jamie: (speechless)
Grabe wala talaga 'kong lusot kay Athan. Wahahaha XD
Afterwards, Jim and I took off for Tamatsukuri to meet up with KMC peeps Steph, Sir Vince, Ren and Nico. Karaoke utaihoudai til 5 am. Kulet kumanta ni Ren. Happy birthday Steph. ;b
November 18, Sunday, went to Nippombashi after church and bought a webcam and a 500GB external hard disk. Feeling ko sobrang omnipotent ko dahil meron akong 500 gigs of space. Haha. After we got home, nagluto kami nina Jim at Jeff ng one dish each for dinner at Jeff's apartment. Eto yung accomplishments namin:
Kay Jim yung Chicken a la king, kay Jeff yung clams. Akin yung tuna sashimi. Shempre pinakamasarap yung sashimi. Pinakamahirap pa i-prepare. Wahahahaha XD
November 19, Monday, birthday ni Bossing. Bullied, er, persuaded Sir Butch to treat us to yakiniku for dinner.
Kulit ng mukha ng birthday boy.
Sarap!!!
Kinikilig siguro ako masyado sa picture namin ni Jim. Wahahahahaha XD
November 20, Tuesday, finished mondaiten 91199. I finally said sayounara to that freaking bug. Good fucking riddance.
November 21, Wednesday. Was going to have a peaceful meryenda with Sir Butch, Jeff, and Jim when all of a sudden, the guy in front of me at the vendo turned out to be none other than Lunch Guy himself. Shokku!!! Anyway Jim goes over to talk to him. I will keep it in Nihongo to protect the sanctity of the conversation.
Jim: "Yago-san no thesis wa magnetic storm desu ne."
Lunch Guy: "Eh? Shitteru?"
Jim: "Hai. Netto de sagashita."
Oh my GAWD that was the creepiest thing EVER. Sobrang nakakahiya. Much much MUCH creepier than some strange foreigner asking for a picture with him. Seriously.
Wahahahahaha XD
November 22, Thursday. Akala ko just another weekly report ang mangyayari with the client, but nooooh, Ishikawa-san (our hot Japanese vice-president) had to show up for the meeting. Eto sya sa likod ko:
Ang nabalitaan ko dati, he only shouts at managers and project leaders. I now feel so special kase kahit subleader lang ako, nasigawan na rin nya 'ko. In front of my KMBT bosses. To be fair I received the lightest scolding (kasi siguro type nya 'ko or something, I dunno) pero still, I got scolded. Iniisip ko habang sinisigawan nya ko, shit I will walk with my head down in shame around KMBT for the next four months.
Yosi break kami afterwards, tas nagsswap kami ng stories how each of us got our heads bitten off by TI, and yung isang guy medyo luha-luha na talaga, tas biglang sabi nya,
J: "Hindi na nga ako na***** sa bahay e, sa office na lang kasi sobrang wala ng time!"
And he was soo serious when he said it too kaya di kami makatawa mashado. It was such a TMI moment, pero sobrang seryoso talaga nya di ko kinaya. May kasama pang mga luha e! Tas sabi pa nya,
J: "Cancer kasi ako e, kaya mukhang strong lang ako sa labas, pero sa loob malambot talaga 'ko."
Hindi na namin kinaya talaga. Sir Butch went, "Ow kamon!!!" tas tawa na kami nang tawa. Strong ampota e iyak nang iyak. Angkulet sobra shet.
We were still feeling a little down after the yosi break pero ok lang kasi pagbalik ko sa desk ko, kinausap ako ni Anjo. And can I just say? SOOBRANG galing nya bumawi. As in. Lumiliwanag ang buhay. Parang kahit every week ako sabunin ni TI ayus lang basta afterwards kakausapin ako ni Anjo.
I fixed this bug, right, and it turned out na I didn't need to fix it just yet, I had to wait for another guy to fix some other part muna. And Anjo was explaining it to me and I was listening intently because I was writing down all the vocabulary I was going to look up after, and I noticed he was kinda laughing. Anjo was actually laughing. Kaya nakitawa na rin ako. Ang kyuuuuuuuut soobra, and he was saying all this unnecessary but totally cute commentary about the code structure of the system, and I was thinking yabai, Athan is sooooo going to kill me.
Anyway after we finished our conversation I was feeling all giddy and shit, and the moment Anjo turned his back Jim went, "I'm so jealous." I was thinking shet sana hindi alam ni Anjo yung english word na yon, kaso biglang may follow-up si Jim e.
"Urayamashii. Jamie no riida wa totemo kakkoi desu kara."
Ginawa pang Nihongo amp! Walang pakundangan! Grabe. Grabe talaga I couldn't stop laughing. Damn you Jim.
Jim: "Narinig mo ba nung nagtatawanan kayo, nakikitawa rin ako? Hahaha parang kasali ako sa usapan."
Angkulet. Afterwards, I talked to Athan.
Jamie: "Nakita mo yon? Nilalambing ako ni Anjo!"
Athan: (speechless)
Wahahahahaha XD I'm so sorry Athan!!! Hahaha XD
That night was incidentally Sir Butch's last night in Itami (uwi sya muna sa Pinas for two weeks) so shempre napadespedida naman kami. Dinner kami nina Jim, Jeff, Athan, Sir Butch and Sir Dante sa Mos Burger tas tawa lang kami ng tawa dun tungkol sa mga kagaguhan namin. Maya-maya nagyaya si Athan - si Athan! - ng karaoke. E minsan lang yung magyaya. Kaya ayun, inabot kami ng 5:30 kakakanta. Sobrang kulet. Basta.
Rollercoaster week talaga 'to. It started on such a low note, I was just about to die na talaga e... tas thankfully, it got better. Much better than I ever imagined. Haay. Arigatou, minna. Next week ulit. ;b

Hahaha XD Anyway sooobrang bait talaga nung mail nya sa 'kin. I soo don't deserve it. Akala ko hindi na 'ko makaka-move on dun sa nangyari the previous day e, sobrang laki kasing screw up. As in instant notoriety. As in kung hindi nila ko papauwiin, uuwi akong Pilipinas mag-isa. Tas isang email lang from Anjo made it all better. Fucking unbelievable. Ang galing nya bumawi, parang yung lahat ng kasupladuhan nya nakalimutan ko. At lunch nag-consult ulit ako kay Athan tungkol kay Anjo.Jamie: "Athan pano na pag yung may-asawa na yung nanlalambing sa 'kin?"
Athan: (walang isip-isip, galit na naman) "Kasalanan mo pa rin yon! May ginawa ka siguro!"

November 17, Saturday, nag-dinner date kaming tatlo nina Jim at Jeff sa isang masarap na ramenan sa Osaka. In fairness popular yung ramenan, talagang pinipilahan sya ng mga tao. Shempre kahit nakapila lang kami kailangan may picture.

Top 5 Reasons Kung Bakit Panalo Ang Araw Na 'To
Na-share ko na 'to kay Kataas-taasang Amiel. Tinawanan ba naman ako. I'm serious!!! Kelan ba 'ko hindi naging seryoso?!?
Number 5:
Akala ni Martin boyfriend ko si Jim. Enough said.
Number 4:
Hindi ako pinapansin ni Anjo simula kahapon ng umaga. Nung nagmail naman sya kaninang hapon, nalaman kong may pinapagawa pala sya sa 'kin dun sa huli nyang email na hindi ko naintindihan at ginawa DAHIL SA LETSENG VAGUENESS NG MGA SAGOT NYA TUWING MAY TINATANONG AKO. MAG-ARAL KA KAYANG MAG-INGLES, GADEMET.
Number 3:
Hindi ako pinapansin ni Athan. Alam naman namin sa KMBT team na seryosong tao talaga si Athan, pero today hindi namin sya narinig umimik buong araw. Kaya nung gabi na nilapitan ko sya sa desk nya.
Jme: "Hi Athan, di pa kita naririnig magsalita today."
Athan: (smiles half-heartedly)
Jme: "Kausapin mo naman ako!"
Athan: (shrugs and returns to work)
Lakas talaga manabla ni Athan. Di talaga pwedeng lambingin amp.
Number 2:
Secret. Anlupet nito. Basta. Hindi ako natuwa. 笑いことじゃねえよ。本当に。
Number 1:
Ang tagal kong pinag-isipan kung bakit ito yung number one reason ng pagkapanalo ng araw na 'to e. At napagisip-isip ko na secret na rin 'to dahil gusto ko 'tong matuloy. Bagong buhay!!!
Shet sana kayanin ko.
Oo, alam kong para 'kong gago, magpopost tas puro secret naman. Tas ang lalalim pa ng dahilan ko no? Ewan. Basta alam ko naiintindihan ako ng mga tao dito sa Japan. Except, of course, the Japanese ones.
Nooni nooni noo. God this was such a hard post to do.

Slow News Week
Hindi naman ako busy lately. Galing nga ni Anjo e, kahit ma-delay raw yung bug fixing namin, "nani mo iimasen." (I won't say anything.) Wtf is up with that. Pwede pala yun. Anyway nothing much has been happening. Saturday night, kumain kami ni Jim sa Mos Burger tas tambay sa ilog hanggang around 2 (oks lang Jim secret na lang natin ng ilog yung ginawa mo dun ;b) tapos Sunday, nagsimba sa Tamatsukuri with Jeff and Sir Butch kung saan dahil sa kabibuhan ni Sir Butch, naging choir members kaming tatlo. Damn I have to attend church every week now. Today, well technically kaninang Monday, napraning si Jocs sa status ko na "ayoko na :'(" dahil akala nya project-related yun. Deins Jocs, don't worry. Nakakadepress lang talaga.
Dahil bored ako ipo-post ko na lang yung itsura ng desktop ko.
I am having waaaaay too much fun with the Google side bar. Yung una na may picture namin ni Utoy, countdown of the days until March 31, 2008 (my scheduled flight home, currently at 138 days) tas yung susunod, money manager (currently at Y2361. Shet wala na 'kong pera.) The third is a YouTube video downloader (stig), next is a shutdown shortcut (dahil tamad ako), and last is the current weather for Osaka (14 degrees.) Angkulet no. Love it love it love it.
Nag-uusap kami ni Jim kanina over after dinner yosi sa Cozy Gusto tungkol sa mga favorite TV shows namin. I made a deal with him na papanoorin ko yung Queer As Folk kung papanoorin nya yung One Tree Hill.
At this moment, there are six billion, four hundred seventy million, eight hundred eighteen thousand, six hundred seventy one people in the world. Some... are running scared. Some... are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes... ...All you need is one.
- Peyton Sawyer, OTH season 3, episode 1, "Like You, Like an Arsonist"
Nakaka-miss ang One Tree Hill. Nakaka-miss si Lucas at si Nathan Scott. Nakaka-miss ang luto ng nanay ko. Nakaka-miss makipag-gaguhan kay Utoy. Nakaka-miss ang F4, ang admuECEzerofive. Nakaka-miss ang clubs. Nakaka-miss magyosi at tumanga sa balcony ng Makati. Nakaka-miss ang Dreidels. Nakaka-miss ang Batch 7. Nakaka-miss.
Mashado akong maraming nami-miss. Wee.
Dahil bored ako ipo-post ko na lang yung itsura ng desktop ko.
I am having waaaaay too much fun with the Google side bar. Yung una na may picture namin ni Utoy, countdown of the days until March 31, 2008 (my scheduled flight home, currently at 138 days) tas yung susunod, money manager (currently at Y2361. Shet wala na 'kong pera.) The third is a YouTube video downloader (stig), next is a shutdown shortcut (dahil tamad ako), and last is the current weather for Osaka (14 degrees.) Angkulet no. Love it love it love it.
Nag-uusap kami ni Jim kanina over after dinner yosi sa Cozy Gusto tungkol sa mga favorite TV shows namin. I made a deal with him na papanoorin ko yung Queer As Folk kung papanoorin nya yung One Tree Hill.
At this moment, there are six billion, four hundred seventy million, eight hundred eighteen thousand, six hundred seventy one people in the world. Some... are running scared. Some... are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day. Others are just not facing the truth. Some are evil men, at war with good. And some are good, struggling with evil. Six billion people in the world. Six billion souls. And sometimes... ...All you need is one.

Ang sweet ni Jim. Sort of.
Jim: "May ibibigay ako sa 'yong jacket. Maganda."
Jme: "Ows..."
Jim: "Seryoso, bagay sa 'yo. Pang-matangkad saka mukhang mamahalin."
Jme: "Talaga?!?"
Jim: "Oo. Pinulot ko talaga yon para sa 'yo e."
Mato-touch na sana 'ko e. Pinulot sa park ampota. (Pero in fairness maganda nga. XD)

Naubusan ako ng quotable quotes.
The unthinkable has happened. Haha. Anyway it's Saturday and we don't have (as far as I know) any plans of going out today. Baka mamaya yayain ko na lang si Jim at si Jeff tumambay sa ilog or something. In fairness ang wholesome namin, di ba.
Yesterday Boss Anjo mailed me to ask me to explain my bug fix for his review. So, being the obedient, diligent, and hard working person that I am, I explained my fix to him. He speaks basically no English at all so I spent a couple of hours composing my reply mail in Nihongo. My Master Plan is to minimize talking directly with him for the next five months and interact with him through mail na lang where I have the time to translate what we're saying to each other. Dumudugo kasi yung tenga ko pag kinakausap nya 'ko e. Tapos nauubusan na 'ko ng Nihongo, nauutal pa 'ko kasi pota di ko mapigilan, bumababa talaga yung IQ points ko in the presence of raw hotness. So mail na nga lang. Good plan, di ba? Ingenious! Galing na galing ako sa sarili ko e.
Nung nag-reply sya dumilim yung mundo ko.

お疲れ様です。Anjoです。
特に問題ありませんが、
1点だけ。
この原因や対策を、日本語を喋って説明することはできますか？
今はまだ、書面でも問題ありませんが、現地メンバの立ち上げが
終わり、現地メンバによって対策が開始されると、書面レビューではなく、
ちゃんと喋って説明していただく必要があります。
お客様とのやり取りも発生してきますので、
今後は必須となってきます。
難しいと思いますが、宜しくお願いします。
以上、宜しくお願い致します。
Basically he said he had no problem with my explanation, it was the greatest single piece of technical email he had ever received, yada yada yada (kung ayaw mo maniwala i-translate mo mag-isa yung sinabi nya, pakshet.) Ang galing ko pala talaga sa mga written docs, akala ko English lang e. (I can write it!) Anyway he goes on to say that he has just one point to say.
"Kono genin ya taisaku wo, Nihongo wo shabette setsumeisuru koto wo dekimasu ka?"
Translation: "This cause and fix, can you explain it verbally in Nihongo?"
Translation, without the Japanese bullshit politeness: "MAG-ARAL KA NGA MAG-NIHONGO!!!"
He goes on to say that right now it's not a problem pa naman, pero when the actual debugging phase starts I'm not going to be explaining my fixes through damn documents. So magiging importante na raw talaga that I learn to speak in Nihongo. In all fairness he's really polite about it, sa dulo sinabi pa nya na sa tingin din nya mahirap nga, pero kailangan talaga.
Feeling ko ploy lang 'tong sinasabi nyang kailangan ko matutong i-express ang sarili ko in Nihongo e. Para siguro maka-reply ako ng maayos pag nagtapat na sya ng feelings nya sa 'kin. Either sya or si Boyfriend. Or si Matsujun!
Hmm. That's enough motivation for me. Sige na nga mag-aaral na 'ko. Harharharharhar. >XD
Baka naman iniisip nyo sobrang zero ng Nihongo skills ko a. (I can speak it!!!) Napagsabihan pa nga kami ni Sir Butch kasi nagni-Nihongo kami nina Jim at Jeff sa office e. Kaso yung mga tipong "Maji ka yo?!?" ("Seryoso ba yan?!?") saka "Warai koto ja nee yo!" ("Pota hindi nakakatawa!") yung mga sinasabi namin. Hindi appropriate sa office kung saan ang lahat ng mga Hapon puro "arigatou gozaimasu" saka "sumimasen" ang maririnig mo buong araw sa sobrang politeness nila sa isa't isa. Kami kasi bastusan mode kahit anong lenguwahe e. Hahahahaha XD
Nagtataka siguro si Anjo bakit balu-baluktot ako mag-explain sa kanya pag nag-uusap kami, pero pag kausap ko sina Jim in Nihongo ng katarantaduhan parang native Japanese speaker ako.
Haaaay. Programming work + Nihongo study. This is going to be interesting.

October 2007 KMBT QQs
Quotable quotes mode na naman ako. Ang kukulet ng mga kasama ko e. Bagong gimik 'to, may categories na saka background stories ang QQs ko. Para hindi lang ako saka yung mga kasama ko dito yung matatawa. XD
1: Cute Boys
For the longest time, si Aldy ang pinakapoging nilalang sa AWS Makati. Mr. Wash Day two years in a row, biruin mo.
Tas biglang dumating si Mr. Astigin (itago na lang natin sya sa pangalang "Berdie.") Mas matangkad. Mas otokoppoi.
Tas biglang dumating si Mr. "Lagi Na Lang Akong Ginagamit ng mga Babae" (itago na lang natin sya sa pangalang "Boah") at ang kanyang live-in partner, si Mr. "Inner Sexness" (na itatago naman natin sa pangalang "Bondi.") In fairness sa 'kin hindi ako yung nag-declare na pogi sila a, si Boah ang nagsabi nun.
Lakas!!!
Boah, on Berdie: "Pansin ko nga sya lang yung medyo pogi dito bago kami dumating ni Bondi. Who's the biatch now?"
Tapos, dumating si Mr. "Lampaso Kayo Lahat" (na itatago naman natin sa pangalang... umm... shit this totally messes up my code names now. Itago na lang natin sya sa pangalang Vren. XD) Siya na ang nasa tuktok ngayon, kahit tanungin mo pa si Jeff. Lalaki na yun a.
Na-insecure sa wakas
Aldy: (looking immensely hurt) "Porke nakahanap ka lang ng mas gwapo sa 'kin..."
Wahahahaha kulet XD Don't worry Aldy, hindi ko pa rin makakalimutan yung moments natin dito sa Japan. Especially the ones involving cute flowery boxers. Wahahahahaha XD
2: Those Damn La Sallites
Tatlo yung kasabay kong bumiyahe papuntang Japan last September 30, puro La Sallista. At shempre puro rich kids.
Bawal mag-holding hands sa high school nina Jocs
Sir Dante: "E pano sex?"
Jocs: (walang kagatol-gatol) "Hindi naman nila mapipigilan yun e."
Nagimbal ang lahat sa statement ni Jocs, grabe. So may KMBT Rule No. 1 na kami: ok lang mahuling nakikipag-sex, basta walang holding hands. Astig. :D
At the Kyuu Kyuu (99 Yen) Store
Jeff: (checking out the milk) "Full cream ba 'to?"
Jme: (silence.) "Jeff nasa kyuu kyuu tayo..."
Akala ko elevator lang meron sina Aps sa bahay
Jme: "Bakit kayo may barge?"
Aps: "Wala lang." (shrug)
Take note of the plural form
Jeff: "Dati pinaglalaruan ko yung yosi ng mga driver namin..."
Jme: "Rich kid story na naman ba 'to?!?"
Kuleeeeeeeeeeet ng mga rich kids.
3: Anlaki na naman ng problema ni Jeff.
Bawal tumanggi mag-host ng Dark Bulb Discussions kase nagagalit si Jeff
Jeff: "Nasa Bible yun! You can not hide light under a bowl!"
Araw-araw 'to
Jeff: (problemadong-problemado) "Ano yung Nihongo ng [insert random word here]?"
Nagagalit na naman si Jeff
Jme: "Hindi talaga 'ko programmer. Magaling lang ako sa grammar, hindi ako magaling sa syntax..."
Jeff: "Syntax IS grammar! You spell grammer with an E!"
Jme: "... as in programmer?!?"
Buti na lang inuubos na namin ni Sir Butch ang kabibuhan mo Jeff. You're on the "knotted-forehead-while-working" side of the fence now. Harharharharhar >XD
4: Si Aps
Ang gusto ko kay Aps, effortless ang pagpapatawa nya kasi hindi naman talaga sya nagpapatawa. ;))
Kulang yung ulam na niluto ni Aps
Aps: "Nabitin yung talong ko." (sad face)
Bakit kasi nasa sahig ang traditional Japanese toilets
Jme: "May 20 seconds' worth of flushing sound effects dun sa loob ng stall."
Aps: (irritated) "May sound effects pa sila ampangit naman ng toilet nila."
Boses **** si Boyfriend
Aps: "Ano yung ****?"
Jme: "Jim di raw alam ni Aps yung ****."
Jim: "Sige Aps papakitaan kita."
Jme: "Wala ka naman nun e!"
Jim: "Papakita ko yung sa 'yo."
After countless euphimisms, na-gets na rin ni Aps kung ano yung ****
Aps: (incredulous) "May boses ba yun?!?"
5: Ang mga Bossing
Mabibigyan ba 'ko ng memo dahil nilagay ko sila sa blog ko? Di naman siguro no?
Pumasok si Sir Butch nang naka-sweatshirt
Jme: (pigil na pigil) "Bagets na bagets tayo sir a."
Sir Butch: (asar talo) "Pagbigyan nyo naman ako paminsan-minsan!!! You bastards!!!"
Anlabo ni Sir Dante
Jme: "Pupunta po dito sina Ma'am Cris?"
Sir Dante: "Sino?"
Jme: "Si Ma'am Cris po."
Sir Dante: "Sinong Ma'am Cris?
Jme: "Yung asawa nyo po."
Joke lang po mga ser. Please wag nyo pa po akong pauwiin. Wala pa po akong naiipon. Harharharharhar. >XD
5: The Athan Mode
Si Athan ang pinakaseryosong miyembro ng KMBT team sa Itami. As in mas seryoso pa sya sa bossing ko, si Poging Boss Anjo. Anyway isang araw naglulunch kami, usap-usap lahat ng kung ano-anong kagaguhan, habang si Athan as usual serious mode, tahimik lang na kumakain. Tas hindi namin alam dadating na pala yung best Athan hirit. EVER. (kahit na hindi nya sinasadya ;b)
Sa wakas nagsalita si Athan
Aps: "Bakit 'Ang hirap lambingin ni Anjo' yung status mo sa YM?"
Jme: (whining) "Mahirap naman talaga kasi lambingin si Anjo e..."
Athan: (biglang nagsalita, galit na galit) "Bakit mo lalambingin yun e may asawa na yun?!?"
WAHAHAHAHAHA XD Anlabo ni Athan, ibang "lambing" kasi yung iniisip e... easy lang! Kaya tuloy may na-establish na naman kaming rule sa KMBT: BAWAL LAMBINGIN SI ATHAN. Wahahahaha XD
Ang singsing ni Athan
Jme: (looking at Athan's hand) "Bakit wala kang wedding ring?"
Athan: (seryoso) "Iba yung wedding ring ko e."
Aps and Jocs (ang mga inosente): (no reaction)
Jim, Jme and Jeff (ang mga not-so-innocent): "Mmffftt... WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Kahit takot kami kay Athan ang hirap pa rin magpigil ng tawa e. Hahahahaha XD
Hahaha wait 2 am na pala. Tulog muna. Btw my apologies to the people who will not get any of this. Really sorry. I was very sleepy while I was writing this. Haha. Good morning! :D

mukhangEwan: TELL ME YOU DON'T LOVE MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
jMe: SKWATER!!!!!!
jMe: XD
I was supposed to use Ewan Mcgregor's character's name in Moulin Rouge instead of the punny "mukhangEwan", kaso sobrang obvious na kung ginawa ko yun e. Harharharharhar. >XD

I can get soooooo bored sometimes...
I take my Friendster profile very seriously. It doesn't show, but I put a lot of thought and consideration into my profile.
Which just goes to show you how bored I can get. ;))
About Me:
I love eloquent, articulate people.
Ako ay isang part-time Japayuki.
Mahal ko ang Arashi.
Pasado na 'ko ng PhilNITS.
Pasado na rin ako ng Level 3 sa Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Konnichiwa.
I have two puppies. EJ's the cute one and Utoy's the funny one.
I could have been the best friend you ever had. Kaso naunahan ka na ni Phoebs.
I try to get along with everybody. "Try" being the operative word.
Do not be deceived. I am not a nice person.
I. Don't. Dance.
I hate liars. If you are one, don't let me find out, or else I'll never trust you again. EVER.
I am a frustrated guitarist. I try, though. Tanungin mo pa si Tin.
I love Conan O'Brien. You should too.
I have to win. Always.
Ang F4 ay F4. Totoo.
I have dozens of crushes. The more, the many-er. If you're gay and cute I am probably in love with you.
Hindi ko alam kung saan nagtatapos ang pakikisama at nagsisimula ang pakikipagplastikan.
Gusto kong maging RAKSTAR.
Gusto ko si Chandler Bing.
Ayoko na sa iPod, dahil may Zen na 'ko.
I am a very loyal friend, if you deserve it.
Kung ayaw mo sa 'kin, mas ayaw ko sa 'yo, ulul.
I have the unfortunate tendency of wearing my heart on my sleeve.
Maganda ang boses ko... pero depende sa kanta.
Mayabang ako.
I collect quotable quotes.
Pinanganak na 'kong malungkot ang mukha, kaya wag mo nang itanong.
I don't want to wake up at 40 with the bitter realization that I wasted my life on a job I hate because I was forced to decide on a career in my teens.
When I get depressed, I do one of two things: chain smoke, or go shopping at National Book Store.
Naiirita ako - sobra - sa mga naghoholding hands at nagp-PDA.
I am basically a shy person. Pero pag click na tayo, bastusan na.
Mahal ko ang mga kaibigan ko.
I am genetically predisposed into thinking the best of people. Pero kung ayaw mo, huwag mo. Walang pilitan.
I am a Brangelina fan.
Finally, tulad ng sabi ni Ethan Hawke, I am not under any orders to make the world a better place. Kaya steady lang ako.

Di ba hindi naman ako bored? Saka hindi sya punong-puno ng inside jokes na mga tunay na Friendsters ko lang ang nakakaalam? Hahaha XD Anyway the next - category? - changes from time to time. Once a year, I guess, depende sa mga kasama ko. From the oldest to the latest.

Harharhar. But I really, truly, obscenely enjoy writing these things, I dunno why. Anyway enough nooni nooni noo-ing. Next time. ;b
Which just goes to show you how bored I can get. ;))
About Me:
I love eloquent, articulate people.
Ako ay isang part-time Japayuki.
Mahal ko ang Arashi.
Pasado na 'ko ng PhilNITS.
Pasado na rin ako ng Level 3 sa Japanese Language Proficiency Test. Konnichiwa.
I have two puppies. EJ's the cute one and Utoy's the funny one.
I could have been the best friend you ever had. Kaso naunahan ka na ni Phoebs.
I try to get along with everybody. "Try" being the operative word.
Do not be deceived. I am not a nice person.
I. Don't. Dance.
I hate liars. If you are one, don't let me find out, or else I'll never trust you again. EVER.
I am a frustrated guitarist. I try, though. Tanungin mo pa si Tin.
I love Conan O'Brien. You should too.
I have to win. Always.
Ang F4 ay F4. Totoo.
I have dozens of crushes. The more, the many-er. If you're gay and cute I am probably in love with you.
Hindi ko alam kung saan nagtatapos ang pakikisama at nagsisimula ang pakikipagplastikan.
Gusto kong maging RAKSTAR.
Gusto ko si Chandler Bing.
Ayoko na sa iPod, dahil may Zen na 'ko.
I am a very loyal friend, if you deserve it.
Kung ayaw mo sa 'kin, mas ayaw ko sa 'yo, ulul.
I have the unfortunate tendency of wearing my heart on my sleeve.
Maganda ang boses ko... pero depende sa kanta.
Mayabang ako.
I collect quotable quotes.
Pinanganak na 'kong malungkot ang mukha, kaya wag mo nang itanong.
I don't want to wake up at 40 with the bitter realization that I wasted my life on a job I hate because I was forced to decide on a career in my teens.
When I get depressed, I do one of two things: chain smoke, or go shopping at National Book Store.
Naiirita ako - sobra - sa mga naghoholding hands at nagp-PDA.
I am basically a shy person. Pero pag click na tayo, bastusan na.
Mahal ko ang mga kaibigan ko.
I am genetically predisposed into thinking the best of people. Pero kung ayaw mo, huwag mo. Walang pilitan.
I am a Brangelina fan.
Finally, tulad ng sabi ni Ethan Hawke, I am not under any orders to make the world a better place. Kaya steady lang ako.

Quotable Quote for the Day, courtesy of the Rich Kid (no Jp, not you)
"Nauubos ang kabibuhan ko kay Sir Butch!"
- Jeff, the most bibo person I know
In fairness aminado sya. Hahahahaha XD
So you can imagine the sheer amount of work we have at KMBT. For my part right now things arent too heavy pa naman, pero soon enough it is going to be HELL. Oh well. At least my boss is cute. Pakunswelo. And I love him to bits kahit ang taray nya minsan pag LQ kami. :)
My aim is to post one quotable quote per day, since I have Internet access at home already. One quotable quote per day for five months. Marami-rami rin yon. :D

September 26, Wednesday

September 27, Thursday

October 1, Monday
First day (pangatlong beses na) at KMBT Itami. Walang katapusang "Ohisashiburi desu!" ("Long time no see") sa mga boss. Nakita ko ulit si Lunch Guy. Pakshet ang gwapo nya pa rin. Ampogi rin ng boss ko, jackpot - si Sugano-san, a.k.a. Anjo. Ampogi rin ng boyfriend nya - si Yoshida-san, a.k.a. Boyfriend. Pota jackpot talaga. Kailangang pagplanuhan kung paano sila paghihiwalayin. Pagtitigisahan namin sila, harharhar. >XD
October 4, Thursday
Nagpadinner ang napaka-hot daddy naming VP, si Ishikawa-san a.k.a. TI. Nakipagkita kami sa kanila ni Sir Butch sa Osaka at naghapunan ng kung aniks-aniks na Japanese food - hilaw na puso ng isda, hilaw na pusit, tenga ng God-knows-what, adobong hapon, sashimi, nabe, at marami pang iba. Pinainom nya rin kami ng sake na lasang vodka. Stig. In fairness galante sya. In fairness nakaka-in love pa rin sya kahit gusto nyang pag-usapan tipong GNP saka GDP ng Pilipinas at Japan. Wtf, nakalulon ng encyclopedia amp.
October 7, Sunday
Shopping day ni Aps sa Blossom, somewhere in Osaka. In fairness ang mura talaga. Got to buy a pair of grey and black low-cut Chucks for \2900 (mga P1160) and a blue Nike backpack for \2000 (P800). Pwede na. Ako pala yung nag-shopping, damn you Aps you didn't buy anything.
October 13, Saturday
After work, Jim, Jeff, Jocs, and I had dinner with Higashi-san, a random Japanese guy Jim became friends with. May hila-hila ring mga kaibigan si Higashi-san - si Wakako-san, isang chicks, at saka si Umeda-san, isang napakakulit na Hapon. After dinner nagkaraoke kami. First time ko mag-karaoke sa Japan! By the end of the night naging Azuma-san (different yomikata ng Higashi), Waka-pai (bastos 'to if you know what "oppai" means), at Umeda-chan (close na kami e) na ang tawag namin sa kanila. Bait, kulit pati magkaraoke ng mga Hapon. Todo-bigay kahit lintik sa pangit ng boses. Harharhar >XD
October 15, Monday
First day nina Sir Butch at Sir Dante sa KMBT. Si Sir Vince nasa KMC naman. Grabe bantay sarado na kami, katapat ko pa yung dalawa sa upuan ko. Three managers in Japan. Who the hell is managing in the Philippines?
October 21, Sunday
May have been the most expensive day EVER. Had brunch at Carnival's eat-all-you-can buffet, then went to Nippombashi in search of a laptop. Was supposed to buy either an IBM Thinkpad (T-series), a Dell Interio, or a Sony Vaio, but ended up buying an HP Pavilion TX1200 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC (RX695AV). AMD Turion dual core, 2GB memory, 120GB HDD, 12.1 inch screen, DVD-RW drive, 802.11a/b/g with Bluetooth support, Windows Vista Premium OS, tablet PC. 5% off. Plus free HP printer. ANO MAY ANGAL PA? PWEDE NA DI BA?
October 27, Saturday
Went to Kyoto to retrieve SpongeBob SquarePillow, who I forgot on the train on the way home from the airport. One month nya kong inantay sa JR Kyoto Station. Anyway the four of us - Aps, Jeff, and Jocs - rented bikes and rode around the awesome city. Saw Nijo castle (Nijou? Nijojou? Whatever) pero sa labas lang, tas went to see the Golden Temple (andaming cute Caucasians), tas was supposed to head on to Gion to see the geishas kaso ginabi na kami, so I toured them around the JR station na lang since it was my second time already. Stig pa rin. Went to the Sky Garden (lampungan place), the gazebo place (second lampungan place), and the Skyway (the best lampungan place) to see the Kyoto Tower. Stig stig stig. May Starbucks Kyoto tumbler na rin ako sa wakas, harharhar :D
Octobe 28, Sunday
Moved house to Leopalace Wish, near the Hankyuu Itami station. This is going to be my home for the next five months. (Check it out here: http://www.leopalace21.com/apps/searchCondition/detail/apno20329.html) Can it be any more perfect? Malapit sa train station, sa 100-yen store, sa supermarket, sa karaokehan, sa ramenan, sa inuman. 15 minutes bike ride to the office. Tapos "Wish" pa pangalan nya. Ryan this is a sign, I'm telling you. Omg fangirl moment. Machi ni ai no uta, nagarehajimetara... hahahahaha XD
October 31, Wednesday
"Walang Ganito Sa Pinas" Despedida for Aps and Jocs, who will be returning the following day. Mr. Nonkiya, our favorite neighborhood okonomiyaki store, threw a nabe (hotpot) party for nine of us, completely free and totally delicious. Grabe talaga sa ingredients, halo-halo ng mushrooms, cabbage, ramen, pork, chicken, at kung ano-ano pa. First time ko mag-nabe party, nakikita ko lang dati yun sa mga J-doramas e. Ang sarap! I want another nabe party, demet!
November 3, Saturday
Woke up to find Jim curled up on the carpet below me (I was sleeping in the loft). Inantok sa wakas sa kapapanood ng Onepiece nya. Around noon, accompanied Sir Butch and Sir Dante to Rimuna to retrieve Jocs' bike, then me and Jim had went to the 99 yen store to hunt for cheap lunch. Grabe andami naming kinain, all for around \800 (P320) between the two of us. At 3:30, met up again with Sir Butch and Sir Dante for some wholesome karaoke fun. Shempre performance level yun no, andun si Jim e. Natapos kami around 7:30, tas dinner sa KFC , plotting with the managers on how to get Lunch Guy's heart. Closing na nung 10 pm, so bumili na lang kami ng beer sa vendo, tatlong order ng takoyaki sa kanto, onting chichirya sa convenience store, tas diretso na lang sa bahay ko for one round of wholesome inuman. Next week ulit.
November 4, Today
Woke up to Jeff ringing at the door.
Jme: (groggy pa) "Ey Jeff."
Jeff: (ecstatic, carrying his SLR) "May temple pala dito sa neighborhood natin! Naubusan lang ako ng film kaya bumalik ako!" (runs off)
Jme: "What the hell just happened."
Fuck morning people talaga o. Hahaha. Anyways may nagsabi sa 'kin na parang suicidal raw ako nung huli kong post. Ganon ba kadepressing. Ngayon medyo - MEDYO - ok pa naman ako dito, kahit work-wise. Kinakabahan lang nang kaunti kasi ayokong madisappoint sa 'kin si Anjo, ampogi pa naman nya. Ayun. Namimiss ang mga tao sa Pinas. Buti araw-araw kong nakaka-chat si Utoy. Na laging nagpapabili ng Game Boy. Wtf.
Naka-one month na pala 'ko dito no. Woohoo, five months na lang!!! Hahaha XD Ja ja ja bye muna for now. Gotta find dinner muna. Ja ne.
